REQUIRED CONSTANT VOLTAGE DRIVER

One 12-volt DC driver is required for each continuous run. Three types are available. Be sure to select an LED driver whose wattage rating is equal to or slightly greater than the total wattage of the LED tape light being powered. All of these items are ordered separately on the Accessories tab.

• Calculating Total Wattage of Run: to determine the LED driver you need, calculate the total wattage rating of your tape light run by multiplying the feet of tape light you intend to power by 2.2 watts. For example, for 16.4 feet of tape light, you would need to select a driver rated for at least 36 watts (16.4ft x 2.2W/ft = 36W).
• Non-Dimmable Plug-In: choose from 18-, 36-, or 60-watt plug-in drivers. A maximum load of 80% is recommended. For example, if you select the 60-watt driver, a maximum of 48 watts should be connected.
• Non-Dimmable Hardwire: choose from 25-, 60-, or 100-watt hardwire drivers.
• Dimmable Electronic Hardwire: choose from 25-, 60-, 100-, or 150-watt hardwire drivers.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

All of these Accessories are ordered separately on the Accessories tab.

• Pulse Width Modulation Dimmer: compatible in-wall dimmer that connects to secondary side of dimmable driver. Dimmer can handle a maximum of 72 watts of load.
